Tottenham’s No.1 Manager Target to Replace Postecoglou Rules Out Exit.
Daniel Levy
Tottenham Hotspur’s number one managerial target, Marco Silva, has confirmed he won’t be leaving Fulham this summer despite reports that he’s a leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou.
GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed back in April that Postecoglou’s job security wasn’t resting on whether they would win the Europa League this season. There’s still a chance that the Australian manager will be sacked, with their Premier League performances likely deemed unacceptable despite lifting a trophy in Europe.

A report from Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio previously confirmed that Fulham boss Silva was Tottenham’s number one target to replace Postecoglou this summer. However, speaking after Fulham’s final Premier League game of the season, Silva has confirmed that he won’t be leaving the club heading into the 2025/2026 campaign…

Journalist Ben Jacobs recently confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that Silva was a ‘leading candidate’ to take over from Postecoglou if Spurs were to make a change in the dugout. Unfortunately for Tottenham, they’ve now been dealt a blow, and it’s back to the drawing board if they are still considering sacking Postecoglou in the coming weeks or months.
Silva may still feel that he has unfinished business at Fulham after they failed to qualify for Europe this season. It looked as though the Cottagers had a strong chance of qualifying, but they ended the season in 11th. With further investment, there’s no reason Fulham can’t go on to finish in the top half and start pushing to battle with the other sides who are competing to qualify for European competitions.
“I haven’t decided anything” – Fulham player reveals what he’s told agent ahead of summer window..
Fulham’s Andreas Pereira recently revealed his desire to stay at the London club saw him turn down Palmeiras in the winter market.
The midfielder has a contract lasting until 2026, with an option for another year. Recent claims from his country have insisted he has no plans to sign an extension with Fulham.
On May 15th, TNT Sports reported Nottingham Forest and Marseille are back in the mix to sign the midfielder after Fulham rejected their approaches last summer. Two days later, RTI Esporte stated Flamengo are planning a move for him in the summer window.
O Globo had a chat with the 29-year-old and specifically asked if his plans is to return to Brazil in the upcoming window or continue in Europe.
The former Manchester United man insists he hasn’t made up his mind and will consider the 2026 World Cup before making the final decision.
“I haven’t thought about it much. It was a tough end to the season. I told my agent that I’m going to take a vacation and stop playing. When I return, I want to prepare myself as best I can, because it’s a World Cup season. I want to be part of the group. I haven’t decided anything,” he said.
Perreira has played 2,344 minutes from 37 games in all competitions for Marco Silva’s side this season, scoring two goals and registering seven assists in the process.
When O Globo asked him to review his season at Fulham, Pereira said: “Considering my time with the Brazilian national team, which was very important, I’d give it an 8. I worked hard, I scored my first goal in qualifying [in the 4-0 win over Peru].
“Of course, there are always things I can improve on. But I’ve changed my position, I’ve played further back than in recent years, but I’ve still scored plenty of goals and created chances. It was very good for me.”
